My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy; providing a safe space where you can explore your emotions and experiences without fear of judgment. I also recognize the value of incorporating humor when appropriate in therapy. Laughter can be a powerful tool in building rapport, easing tension, and exploring new perspectives. Together, we can explore how humor might play a role in your therapeutic journey, enhancing our collaborative work toward your goals.
As a therapist, I employ creative approaches within exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy to effectively manage intrusive thoughts and anxiety triggers. In our sessions we’ll develop personalized strategies that incorporate your interests and strengths to make therapy engaging and effective.
I am passionate about helping people understand the complex emotions that come from living with chronic pain/illness. In our sessions, we will build a strong therapeutic alliance based on trust, compassion, and mutual respect. I work to empower my clients to take an active role in advocating for themselves.
